    I have a 1976 Fender P-Bass natural finish body and yes, they are boat anchors.

    In 1978 at age 14, i worked at a music shop after school. We were a Travis Bean and Kramer dealer (Gibson & Ibanez too). We had the Travis Bean and Kramer aluminum neck bass guitars as well as 6 strings. Also carried ibanez basses and the Gibson Rippers etc. THEY ALL WEIGHED A TON. everything in the late 70's was a boat anchor. Very bizarre time

    Still have some of these Fender P-Basses. They do sound deep and huge! Thanks for doing this video.

    Perfect punk bass. Always the best bass demos Mr. Greg!

    Hair matches the body and pickguard matches the t shirt. These are campements. The compliments relate to Greg demonstrating what sounds you can get out of the bass.
    Bass sick Lee.
    Lemmo you're a friendly humble host who plays guitars swell.

    Greg is a great player. Smart move having him playing the basses instead of Lemmo.

    JEEBUS GREG !!!
    Picks up an old 78 Precision, stock, and goes.... DAMN !!!
    Pleasure to listen to. I've watched it 3 times now. So seriously cool. Greg Coates needs to be a permanent 'Thump'in Thursday' addition.
    Norm? Hello Norm? I perusing your Reverb site because of this guy Greg. I want a bass again. Greg makes it fun, and cool...again.
    Mark A and Michael always have shied away from bass. Do a Todd W move and move Greg to a regular Thumping Thursday.

    Just watching Greg's demos has made me a better guitar player. So many times I have said, I didn't know you could do that.

    Great demo Coates. I dig how you play killer tunes we've all heard, giving the viewer a sampling of what the bass can do with some serious talent behind it. A lot of bass players pick out something ultra eclectic and try too hard to impress other bass players, and the demo just falls flat.

    Greg, you killed that Harris gallop, and your crack about being a see-through blonde made me laugh out loud. Fender needs to pull you in for some demos, too!

    I bought the same exact bass used a few years back.It is either a 78 or a 79.Nobody seems to be able to date if for sure.Mine is one of the HEAVY ones but all original and plays great!The finish is very very cracked though.Pretty ugly.Was a great pawn shop find.They didn't know what they had.

    That P-Bass is almost the spitting image of one that was *ripped off* of a former colleague here in New York City.

    Any pedals or just through an amp?

    • @gregcoates4281
      @gregcoates4281 2 года назад +1

      Was running through an Ibanez Tube King compressor just mildly squished-I normally run through another pedalboard so I have a tuner etc, but it was locked up at a rehearsal spot,so I brought that pedalboard instead.
      Sounded GREAT for the Stingray I did,but maybe not AS good for the other three basses I did that day.
      Def need my regular board,more transparent sounding.
